Cocora | Informal Campsite

April 10th, 2024 by chasing.vida

Arrived at 5pm. Employee gave us a ticket for that day (night) for 15,000 and one for the following day for 15,000. 30,000 in total. I couldn’t get her down to 25,000 like the last person who commented. The employees left at 5:45pm.

No services. Gravel parking lot. Not super level but enough rocks to make it work.

We hiked the 11km loop counter clockwise. 26,000 COP per person. Took 3.5 hours with some stops. We really liked the hike even though the end (or start, depending on how you do the loop) is very artificial/theme park-ish with cheesy statues and such 😅 The area is pet-friendly. Our dog was off leash the entire time… no issues. Enjoy!

We got two tickets.
One for the night: 15.000 COP
One for the following day: 10.000 COP
So 25.000 COP in total! We spent a quiet night there and had the hole place for ourselves after 7pm.
Nice view and easy to start your hike right in the morning!

es el último parking solo hay que seguir recto hasta el final. pasamos una noche, llegamos por la tarde y la chica nos dijo que por la noche nos cobraba 15.000 cop y que por el día siguiente (hasta las 18.00) nos cobraba 10.000 cop así que en total pagamos 25.000 ya que llegamos tarde y recorrimos el valle al día siguiente. nos dijo que por la noche no se queda nadie del parking es decir te quedas solo ahí , que hay un señor con un perro que pasa vigilando... no hay servicios de ningún tipo. pasamos una noche tranquila la verdad que el lugar es espectacular

Arrived at 17:20… nobody there anymore. But when we wanted to leave the next day, they asked for 30.000COL (15.000 for night & 15.000 for the day after). The woman told us, that she had a note at her window, that we were there since the evening before. So I guess the neighbourhood is watching now, when you are coming.

But still: The place is really nice for the night. Quiet, safe and beautiful surroundings!

Enjoy :)

we arrived at 5:30pm and the wife was here. Prices were correct : we paid 15000p for the night and 15000p for the next day. Last 300m access are a few bad but WE did it without any problem with our motorhome.
This spot is really nice. we slept alone, very well, with the palms all around us. Recommended..

Stayed here for one night with our campervan. Arrived after 5pm and nobody was at the car park to check on us.
Next day we payed when we left, at around 1pm, after hiking. We paid 15k. Guess the prices are totally random...

Very quiet and safe place. We were the only one. Nice view. Paid fixed price

Today they asked us for 40,000 COP for the night without service. And in addition, the price increased between the morning and the end of the day. They are neither honest nor kind. We didn't stay. To flee!

We slept one night here. We paid 20.000 COP for two days and one night. Nice view, quiet, peaceful. From here you can do the walk to palm forest (15.000 COP).
* Claro 4G and Movistar 3G, but both works good.

Dormimos una noche acá, pagamos 20.000 COP por 2 días y 1 noche. La vista es hermosa, es muy tranquilo. Desde acá podes hacer la caminata al Valle de Cocora (se debe pagar aparte: 15.000 COP)

We spent two nights here and paid 30K per night (no day fee). They didn’t ask about our toilet situation. And wow. One of our favorite camps since leaving the U.S. We had the parking lot completely to ourselves by dinnertime when everyone had gone home. Everyone starts arriving around 7 a.m. We did get a tremendous thunderstorm one afternoon, but the stars that night were incredible. Lots of curious people, no security issues.

Pasamos 2 noches en este parking, el último, increíble ubicacion. Y Monica la chica de ahí super amorosa. Pagamos 5 mil pesos colombianos por día. Súper recomendable

Nice big parking lot. The lady said no overnights unless you have a toilet in your vehicle, which seems fair. 30k per car for overnight. No facilities.

we arrived after 5 pm and there was no one to attend the entrance, we parked in the flattest part we could find. We had a full moon and it was magical. The next day, very early in the morning, many tourist vehicles began to arrive. the place in the day is very crowded. Finally they charged us 5,000 COP and there was no problem.

llegamos después de las 5 pm y no había nadie para atender la entrada, parqueamos en la parte más plana que pudimos encontrar. nos tocó no he de Luna llena y fue mágico. al día siguiente muy temprano en la mañana empezaron a llegar muchos vehículos de turismo. el lugar en el día es muy concurrido. finalme te nos cobraron 5.000 COP y no hubo problema alguno.

Buen y gran parquing. Fácil para cualquier tipo de vehiculo, grande o pequeño.
Con un coste de 10.000 cop 24 horas.
Ideal para hacer el circuito de los miradores. Aproximadamente 5 km. Recomendable

Just keep on driving until the end of the road, can be difficult on busy days. In our opinion the best and nicest of options here. No services not even a bin. Nice views from the parking also in the night. We paid 10000 cop for one night (2 in a truckcamper), a perfectly acceptable price.

Due to mixed reviews we thought we’d give it a go. The lady was very friendly. She asked for 5k per day and 20k for the night. We didn’t think this was too unreasonable for a lovely quiet spot, even without facilities considering it was for both of us. Also far nicer than any other spot.

Yeah, they really hate campers. But as someone from the region I can tell they do it because its greed.
I parked at the side street, but they 'kindly' let me know it was not allowed, they offered free parking for the afternoon since I said I had no money, but later they tried to charged me despite their promise. They ask for 30K the night with no amenities or security, even when their entrance is open and everyone leaves at 6pm. If you park outside of the parking they sent the police to move you. Not so kind after all. Really dishonest and rude. :(

Confirmado, los del parqueadero si odian a los campistas. Pero como alguien de la region puedo ver qué es codicia. Yo parqueé al lado de la calle donde es gratis, pero ellos me dijeron que estaba prohibido y amablemente se ofrecieron a dejarme parquear en el parqueadero gratis por unas horas. Sin embargo, luego trataron de cobrarme.
Cobran 30K por la noche aun cuando no ofrecen ningún servicio, ni seguridad, pues el lugar queda desierto después de las 6pm.
Pasé la noche fuera del parqueadero, pero en la mañana me mandaron la policía para moverme, y trataron de cobrarme la noche!.
Fueron deshonestos y groseros. :(

we arrived at 6pm and there was no one there, quiet night and beautiful view of the wax palms. The next day they charged us (but only for the day 5.000).

Nice parking area with a perfect view of the Cocora Valley. We paid 10‘000 COP per vehicle for day and night. The lady was really nice. There are no facilities but you are right in front of the entrance of the park.

It's 5k COP per day and they want 30k per night now. Totally ridiculous, I asked her how she justifies the price and she basically said they don't want campers. (Or maybe that's their excuse for asking ridiculous amounts and getting caught.)

excellent place to spend a magical night in the middle of the valley, we paid 20000

very nice spot. they wanted to charge us 20000 for the night and we negotiate 10000 day and night. very Quiet and beautiful. we walked thru the road and did a very nice trekking into the nevado's park.

New parking area by donation. Beautiful views and closest to the entrance of the park. Can hear the birds and river here. It’s by donation so please give a fair value. No amenities.
